Description
A three-bedroom semi-detached house with a through lounge, separate kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and first-floor wet room. The accommodation includes a front bay window in the lounge and sliding doors opening from the rear reception area to the garden. The property is described as requiring updating, offering scope to modernise the existing rooms to suit a buyer’s requirements.
The rear garden is approximately 127 feet long, and a garage is located at the rear with access via a shared drive. The listing notes potential for a rear extension of up to six metres, subject to planning permission; feasibility would need to be checked. Local shops and bus services are nearby on Blackbird Hill, with Wembley Park station stated to be around a 15 to 20 minute walk away.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a spacious semi with a generous through lounge, a long rear garden and a garage, offering plenty of scope to reshape and improve the property. The dated finishes, damaged plaster and ceiling surfaces in places, and overgrown garden make this a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh; the listing also mentions possible rear-extension potential subject to planning, which would need to be tested.
The numbers are middling rather than compelling because works on top of purchase push the economics into a tighter band versus area norms, leaving a gap of around 6% versus area norms for this sqft. The project can still appeal to the right buyer, yet the numbers are not exceptional.
Key opportunities
- Rework the spacious through lounge and update the dated finishes to create a more cohesive living space.
- Clear and improve the 127-foot rear garden, with scope to explore the listing’s stated extension potential subject to planning.
- The garage and wide shared drive-in add useful practical appeal alongside the semi-detached layout.
Key risks
- Damaged plaster and ceiling finishes in places need assessment and repair; the roof appears intact in the available view but cannot be fully assessed.
- A heavy interior programme, including damaged surfaces and dated finishes, will require more time and coordination than a cosmetic refresh.
- Purchase and works costs look tight against local benchmarks, leaving limited headroom on the current-value comparison.
